What makes our WordPress Optimized Servers so great?

We combined fast servers, guaranteed resources and a focus on security and then optimized every piece of the OS and backend application layers to be fully optimized for WordPress. Give your WordPress site the speed you want it to have.

Are you trying to decide which host you can trust?

One of the top comments we get from new customers is that they wish they would have tried Hostek sooner. With our un-matched customer support team, server engineers and redundant highly available infrastructure, Hostek can help you accomplish your IT goals.

What is the difference in the WordPress VPS vs the WordPress Server?

The WordPress VPS has less resources and works best for a single site.

The WordPress servers have more resources, can handle a heavier load and/or more sites.

Load Balancing The What, Why and How

The WHAT - Load Balancing in simple terms

As displayed in this example image below, Load Balancing in its simplest form means having a device (load balancer) setting in front of two or more Web or Application Servers.

The Load Balancer will monitor the Servers and split the load between the Servers based on your preferences.

Why Use a Load Balancer

Regardless of how much Ram or CPU you throw at a server, there is a physical limitation to the amount of requests it can handle.

By utilizing a Load Balancer, you can spread the load amongst multiple servers (generally 2 servers will handle most scenarios).

Handle larger number of visitors or requests during "peak" traffic times

Ensure uptime for mission critical sites or applications

Another option is to have the Servers load balanced based on load.

Real Life Solution - Large City Government Planning for 7,000 visitors per MINUTE

To serve 7,000 people per minute for a large City Government, load balancing their web-servers was a perfect fit.

Their main objectives were:

< 4 second load time (Actual Result: < 1 second load time)

7,000 visitors per minute (Actual Result: 6,000 visitors per minute)

Knowing their objectives, this gave us all the needed information to successfully deploy solution that fully met their needs.

Once we had the updated version of their application from the development team, we ran new tests successfully. The final testing of the fully deployed solution was the remaining step before their official launch. The specs for the solution that would meet their performance objectives (< 4 second load time, 7,000 visitors) included:

Load Balancer & Virtual LAN

Windows Servers

MS SQL Database Servers

This solution worked perfectly. Not only were we able to help them achieve their goals; we went a few steps further. Their database server was prepared for disaster, by log shipping to their secondary database server. Additionally, we helped them implement CloudFlare for CDN & Caching to turbo charge the load time.
